I had some time left for the bonus sketch on 2s4y. Thanks Joke for the sketch. This will be my son's birthday card. He has his birthday on Sunday. I used MM papers and a cuttlebug embossing folder. The stamped image is made with the JustRite monogram stamper. Oh, and BTW, Kath's card gave me the inspiration for this card. Thanks Kath.

I'm also going to put it on the Caardvarks blog, they had a challenge where you had to use a monogram and the T is for Tom, my son.

Already sketch#12, how time flies. And 3 months have passed for the DT members and this is their final week. Ladies, thank you for all the inspiration you have given me the last three months.

I made my final Halloween card. It's Halloween tomorrow and also the birthday of our own little "witch" Simone, she will be 14.I used the cuttlebug for the background, DP is by Imaginisce and the stamps are Inkadinkado. The swirl I painted with purple and black ink with quick crackle in between.

I had a go at a tag. The challenge was Christmas tree. I have this beautiful Hero Arts tree stamp and used it on green CS with white memories ink and cut it out. The star I made with the cricut and gold CS. I stamped the tag with another Hero Arts stamp. Put a ribbon aroud the tag and some at the top. Used a big red brad to conceal the ends of the ribbon. Put some red pearls on the tree.

I haven't made a card for CPS very often but this week I had an idea when I saw the sketch. So here it is. Papers are from Imaginisce, the Christmas trees and the little card on the right and the snowflakes are cut with the Cricut.

I punched out 8 ovals for the orange pumpkin and I die cut 8 scalloped ovals with my nestabilities for the black one. Put them through the cuttlebug with the embossing folders and glued them together. Fun project, not difficult but lovely results.

I made a card for my DD and asked her if she wanted a normal birthday card or a birthday card with a bit of Halloween. She went for a bit of Halloween. I think I succeeded. Under the orange circle is a pop-up spider, at least that's what it is meant to be. We'll see.

I made the gift card holder in the same color and papers. Put the 2 pieces of DP through the Cuttlebug with the Happy Birthday folder. And I put the orange CS through the Cuttlebug with the swiss dots.I'll put the gift card holder inside the card.

I missed 2 workshops but this one wasn't so much work. A napkinring. I stayed with the Halloween theme. My daughter Simone has her birthday on Halloween and she'll get all that I made next to her plate at breakfast. I used black, purple and orange cardstock and 2 Cuttlebug embossing folders, swiss dots and Boo to you. I punched the pumpkin face out with a circle punch.

First workshop from the Cuttlebug Camp. This was so fun to do. I think it took me about 10 minutes to make. I used to do this with Christmas cards, cut those in thin strips and put a brad in each end. This was before I started with scrapbooking and cardmaking.

I used purple and orange CS and some black. Put the strips through the cuttlebug with the tiny bubbles embossing folder. I even had 2 purple brads with glitter on them.

I had some Halloween DP left and I made a Halloween hanger. Used my Cricut for the spiders and the text. Stamped the ghosts on tissue paper and cut them out. Some buttons and some black ribbon and I was done. Fun project.

Two challenges in one project. The Cuttlebug challenge was to make something other than a card or to alter something with the embossing folders and the Double Dutch challenge was to make a notebook cover. So I made a notebook cover with the script embossing folder. I used kraft CS and some green CS. The text is computer generated and says, don't forget book, in Dutch. The hanky with the knot is made out of cotton. On the inside you find a pocket for coupons etc.Because I'm getting older!!! I find I have to write things down so not to forget them. Now I have a nice little notebook next to the computer.

Already the 11th sketch by Kazan, time flies. I made another Halloween card this week. I just love this paper. Halloween is not really celebrated much in The Netherlands but I will send out all the cards I made. I'll start decorating my house for Halloween too this week. Got everything I have in the States when I lived there.

Materials used: black and orange CS, DP Hallowhimsy by Imaginisce, black ink and some buttons. Used my cricut for the brackets.

A week passes so quickly. I always think I have enough time for every challenge I would like to participate in and then it's almost too late to post a card. Well, this week I only just made it again. I have no Halloween/fall cuttlebug products, yet, so I use my swiss dots.

This is my take on this weeks challenge.I used the "giving and receiving" transparent stamp set. It is also my take on the challenge on Kadee Morrisons blog. Make a card with green/pink, buttons and ribbon. Sorry, no buttons.

I had a hard time coming up with an idea for this weeks challenge on Cuttlebug challenges. Finally I made this card with the circles I had already on my worktable. I just used the "Happy birthday, tiny bubbles and the paisley" embossing folder. I quite like the result. You can see it better when you click on the picture.

I have had a few busy days. But I also need time to think about a sketch. So, today I promised myself a whole afternoon in my craftroom. And this card came together quickly. I used my cuttlebug for the embossed CS and the snowmen. I love the way it cuts through felt. The snowflakes on the background I stamped with blue on white felt.
